Peggy’s Place Inc is a Nonprofit foundation created to assist with the costs of Funeral expenses for special needs/medically complex children, .
Approximately 31% of the children born in the state of Kentucky are diagnosed as special needs/medically complex, and are unable to be covered by Life Insurance depending on their medical complexities.
Our sweet daughter Peggy passed away in early 2025 at the age of 9 due to complications from her Cerebral Palsy.
We had purchased what was referred to as a Piggy Back policy where a larger policy is purchased allowing one with a smaller beneficial value to be purchased as well.
Unfortunately these policies also come with undisclosed loopholes. Ours being that a 3 year premium must be paid before filing a claim can be filed. We had the policy for 23 months, therefore we were unable to open the claim.
Peggy spent an abundance of her time in and out of the hospital over the years. Doctors would withdraw from discussing her future as it was the Abyss for anyone to consider.
Between each sunrise and sunset, was opportunities to create memories. Our deepest memory was to show her everyday just how much she was LOVED throughout her life all the way to Heaven.
We owe a great deal of gratitude to our family, friends, and the funeral director/staff for their kindness and generosity, as when Peggy was laid to rest there was no debt looming allowing us to grieve without worry.
Funeral expenses are extremely costly: Preparations need to be made with the funeral director, choosing a burial site, vault, casket, deceased attire, services, the monument, even down to the tiniest detail of music played.
Then there is the graveside arrangements. There is a cost to every detail. Even if Cremation is chosen, there will always be a cost.
Therefore Peggy’s Place, Inc was created to alleviate the worry in a families time of grief and mourning. We functions solely on Donations, Sponsorships, and gifts of the heart.
We cannot achieve this goal alone and therefore we ask that you search your heart as Peggy’s Place, Inc cannot thrive without what I like to say Peggy’s Peeps. Wont you please help us in becoming beneficial to other children that walk Peggy’s pathway.
“Children deserve the best in LIFE all the way to HEAVEN”
